Make The Farm Home Pleasant.

Yes; make it 50 pleasant that the
growing boys and girls will not be
looking forward to the time when
they will be old enough to leave
the farm in search Of a pleasanter
place, We know well-to-do farm
er, having eight children who, as
soon as they are old enough to sup
port themselves, leave their home.
OF the five boys not one remains on
the farm. They have gone to
clerkships and other positions in
preference to staying on the much
| despised farm. a glance in the
home may account Somewhat for
this. There has never been any eff
fort to make it attractive for the
children. The parents aim has
been to work and save, with scarce
" thought that their children had
fany other needs than food and
clothing. They are active, bright
minded boys and girls. 1t is no
wonder that the dizziness and mo-
notony becomes uncomfortable.
This farmer does not hesitate to
spend money in farm improvements,
in fine stock or il anything that
will advance his financial interest;
but any outlay for the children's
pleasure is regarded as unnecessary
and extravagant.
Children cannot feel bat sense OF
proprietorship IN the farm and its
profits that is stimulant to the
head of the household, and some
thing is needed to take it's place
Some personal property, even s
chicken or q pig, is strong incen-
| tive. Children are sportive by ma
ture-all young animals are-and
some diversion is essential for leis-
ure hours; otherwise their minds
will wander off and dwell on the
attractions supposed to pertain tC
| village and city life.
A few dollars each year invested
in reading matter will not only sup
ply pleasant employment for leis
ure hours but the means of menta
improvement az well. There are sc
many excellent, entertaining publ
cations for the young, and at suct
low prices that no family in which
there are children should be with
out one or, more. But parents
should discriminate carefully be-
tween a good and q b&d class o
reading matter, for there is larg,
amount of a fashy, sensational
character, wholly unfit for tn
young to read.
There ia no reason why a coun-
try home should not be u place o
pleasure and contentment to ever,
member. There is 8 freshness ant
freedom in farm life that cannot b
enjoyed when a person is surround
| ed by brick walls. With pleasan
mental recreation for leisure hour
there need be no unhappy memorIe
of the farm to carry through life

OuUdp dOHleb,
All men have a natural ambi-
ton to have a home-to own the
house they live in. 1t may be Ia
ken as an axiom that those towns
where the conditions are favorable
for the purchase of homes at rea
sonable prices and upon easy terms
by thelpoorer, principally the labor
ing classes, enjoy large shsre OF
prosperity and are more orderly and
freer from crime.
There is no city in the world
with population as large as that
of Philadelphia in which the people
are 80 well housed. There is no
other scity IN which there are so
many houses in proportion to pop
ulation. There is no other city in
which the means of obtaining shell
ter have been brought SO complete
ly within the grasp of the whole
number of inhabitants, from the
poorest to the richest. Houses
can be bought and paid for in Phil
adelphia upon terms Of no greater
hardship to the purchaser than to
pay rent IN New York. Houses
can be built to suit purchasers and
paid for in installments. Houses
can be cheaply rented. No man
who has health and strength and
work to do need lack in Philadel-
phia for a roof of his own over his
head. 1t is one of the things that
has spread Philadelphia until II
covers twice the area of any other
city IN the country, that its citizens
have discovered the art of making
it superior dwelling place. In
other cities people are crowded in
to narrow spaces and terraced tieI
above tier in many stored tene
ments. In Philadelphia there il
scope and room for good air, fol
proper privacy and for comfortable
living. The opportunities for The
purchase Of real estate were never
more attractive nor the induce
ments greater for people who have
heaps of money or for people wht
have little, to get houses or lands
to their liking.
| Southern cities should follow thu
example set by Philadelphia. 1t il
a mistake to suppose that the RAPID
advance IN the price of real estat,
is beneficial to q young and grow
ing town. Business men ere de
tered from investing or entering
into business enterprisas IN conse-
quence of abnormally high rents
and refuse to buy and build be
cause their business will not yiel'
a dividend on the capital so invest
ed, 1t is the volume of bushes
that builds up town, and the lac
of business keeps down the popula
ton. Drive away capital by ex
cessiye rents and land values, an
the growth Of the town will b
checked both in population an
wealth.
The growing manufacturing eli
les and other thriving towns Of th
south will be greatly benefited
the men WHO own large tracts {
lands in or near them will be col
tent to receive q just valuation
measured by the present populatio
Of the town and its volume of bus
ness, thus holding out an induce
ment to capital and increasing ii
chances Of securing the location (
a substantial class of workin
people.
The organization of association
for assisting the latoring classes
purchase homes will prove the ke
note of prosperity; it will insure
stable, thrifty and law abiding poi
ulatioa. Gives US cheap hone
for the mass Of the people and pro
perity will surely tolloB. Lar

4 gentleman Of wealth while
prae,jeing peamanship one day
wrote bis name upon s. blank slip
of paper and allowed it to lie on
his desk. It attracted the atten-
ton Of : neighbor, who, for Joke,
filled the space above the signature
in the form o. 3 promissory note
and few days afterward the jok-
ing neighbor presented the paper,
with an offer to allow considerable
discount If the apparent drawer
would cash it ST the time. The gen
tleman perceived the joke and the
holder Of the document, placing it
in his pocket, departed, and moth
ing more was said about it. Sub

A Remarkable Growth.

The many friends of Messrs. Mont
comery Ward q Co., formerly at 227
and 229 Wabash Av., Chicago, will be
glad TO know that the rapid growth of
their business has forced them to re-
move from Wabash Ave. to Ill, lI2.
ll3 and la Michigan Ave, where
they have purchased a magnificent
building, the seven floors of which they
will occupy exclusively. These seven
floors are each 100xl65 feet, aggregat-
ing nearly 100 900 square feet (abouU
acrea) of floor surface. The new quar-
ters will enable them to handle their
business TO the better advantage of their
thousands OF customers. Fifteen years
ago Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Co.
occupied but one room and that only
25x4O feet. The enormous growth of
their business during these iifteeh years
can only be explained by the fact that
Ghey sell direct to consumers, supply
ing all their wants, and never misrep-
resent any article. The success of this
house proves the old saying that "hon-
esty is the best policy" and from this
policy they never deviate. The fall
catalogue issued by Messrs. Montgom-
cry Ward 6 Co. ought to be in every
family.

4 STATE WITH

\ STATE WITHOUT INHABITANTS
The sO-called State of Nevada has estab-
lished bureau of immigration in order to
patch up its shattered fortunes. Nevada
might be called a State without a people.
II has now been twenty three years since
she was admitted as State in 1864.
At the preceding census she had less
than 900 people; but wonderful stories
were told of her marvellous growth. In
1sTO, however, the new State had only A.
600 people, and that number did not in
crease by more than 20, 600 during the next
ten years. Nevada'S total vote in l6Si
We L., 75l-a large decrease a. compared
with lsS0, when 1t was 1913. There Is
reason to believe that the decrease
of the vote actually cast in Nevada
As compared with the preceding
Presidential election, largely If not
wholly, corresponds to the decrease ofher
population. The population Of the entire
State 1t present perhaps does not eNceeu
$4,000, some $1,000 more people than
Wheeling contains.
II is no wonder then that Nevada wants
more people. 1t is at present little more
than q mining camp with two Senators
and one Congressman living in other
States. OF course the United States Gov
ernment has no remedy for the mistake it
made in admitting State with 50 sparse
and unsettled population, aud can only
guard against such mistakes in the future.

THE TRIALOFJAKEsu SHARP.


The trial Of JAKE SHARP for hribing
New York Aldermen is the most remark
able that has taken place since the time
the Tweed ring was broken up. For years
SHARP has been notorious as q lobbyist
before legislative bodies for different en-
terpriSes in which he was interested and
the wonderful and sudden changes of
opinion among Legislators and aldermen
have left no doubt in the minds of the
people that bribery has been resorted to
again and again. Most OF the measures
that SHARP has lObbied have been against
the interests of the people. Like TWEED,
he defed the people. But as murder will
out, f" so will nemesis oyertake an evil
dOer. The officers cry of JACOB SHARP
to the barm must have sounded ominous
to the ears of SHARP.
Four of the bribed Aldermen have al
ready been tried and three convicted.
JAEHNE was convicted on May Is, one
year ago, he being the first example, and
now rests in Sing Sing. If bribers and
bribed can be made to enjoy this same
hospitality, the people will have cause to
be gratifed. But this qualification would
only be temporary, as New York people
will soon lose their interest in public af-
fairs and consequently in due time he
robbed by another gang OF cOnspirators.
